AGRICULTURAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DISPENSING A LIQUID

An agricultural device and method for dispensing a liquid product to be sprayed over a surface, such as an agricultural field. The agricultural device includes a boom having a longitudinal supply line for transporting the liquid product and a plurality of nozzles, a pressure regulation unit for controlling the opening and closing of one or more associated nozzles, a positioning system to provide position data, where the position data comprises a real-time position of the agricultural device and a time stamp, a detection system positioned on the boom and/or in front of the agricultural device and is configured to provide detection data comprising information on the surface to be sprayed, and a map generator to, based on the detection data and position data, generate a raster-based representation of the surface, the representation comprising a number of raster elements, where each raster element includes position data associated with that raster element.
